In response to the growing adoption of AI-based recruitment, the AI competency assessment service has been provided since 2024. This service consists of personality analysis, strategy games, and mock interviews. Jobseekers can experience a real-world recruiting environment and prepare for different types of assessments. With the increased spread of AI-based recruitment, the number of users has been rapidly growing. The foundation also plans to expand follow-up support such as special lectures on strategies for taking the tests.

Additionally, the foundation offers 126 online job training contents on certifications, foreign languages, AI, and other areas.

Dukryong Yoon, CEO of the Gyeonggi Job Foundation, stated, "We will continue to expand practical job support services so that young people can access the necessary training and counseling for employment without financial burden."

Meanwhile, according to JobKorea, the average monthly expenditure of those who received private employment tutoring last year was 380,000 won, totaling 4.55 million won per year. The main spending categories included certification acquisition, English and IT education, and personal statement and interview consulting.
